QPR tells AC Milan to take Taarabt

QPR midfielder Adel Taarabt is being lined up to return to AC Milan in January.

The People says QPR boss Harry Redknapp launched an extraordinary attack on Taarabt after last week’s defeat by Liverpool, criticising the Moroccan’s attitude and claiming he was ‘about three stone overweight’, leading to a public slanging match between the two which ended with public censure from owner Tony Fernandes.

Yet Taarabt enjoyed a successful loan spell at Milan last season and the San Siro giants are keen to strike a deal for a cut-price fee in the mid-season window.

Rangers were demanding about £7million for the player in the summer but may now be willing to reduce their price for the talented but wayward 25-year-old.
